Is this recommended to skimcoat over a sponge-painted wall? Actually the whole room!

With any textured wall of any sort it may need to be scraped down a bit depending on how large the texturing is. You can use a razor scraper to get the larger humps/ chucks off and then roll on a watered down premixed joint compound. Then use the magic trowel to smooth off. Only do small sections at a time. And you will need at least 2 coats if not 3. As each coat dries go in the opposite direction Ie. HoriZontal and vertical. Good luck

Ideally you should apply several coats to get the desired smooth wall effect. This is tool is perfect for using over any surface, though in your case I would consider sanding the peaks out of the paint. THEN after cleaning the wall and letting it day and begin applying sheet-rock compound. Good luck!

I used it to skim coat my walls with joint compound to smooth out old plaster walls and for smoothing drywall joints it works wonderfully. I put three thin coats on entire plaster walls sanded then used very thin coat to fill in areas that had pock marks (small holes in compound) very lightly hand sanded. Walls look great, covered all the flaws ( lumps and dips ) on the plaster walls.

If the wall isn't subject to a lot of moisture it should be OK. I used mine on drywall in a dining room and sealed the wall before I put it up. Only real problem I had was that virtually every panel I received had damaged corners (I bought three boxes). They arrived very beat up and poorly packaged. Ended up trimming all of the panels in order to get them to fit together seamlessly. They do paint up very nicely and look great but I worry about durability and if they will withstand the test of time, especially with grandkids in the house.

Hello Ali JuliaI wouldn't trust that hook on any surface. My experience with it was really bad. The adhesive tape on the back failed repeadily (usually in the middle of the night) I called 3m and they sent me new adhesive strips which also failed after about a month. I liked the design and that is why I purchased it at first but if you really want to use it I strongly suggest you screw it to the wall with a mechanical fastener otherwise you're in for a rude awakeing in the middle of the night!

I have tile 1/2 way up my wall and it attached without any problem until he tried to sit on it. :) I put a little water on the suction cups and didn't have any problems with it sticking. I just taught him not to sit on it and to let me empty it.

I guess that depends if you're covering the whole room where you're putting it against the walls or to the baseboards of the walls. Are you covering the whole floor wall to wall? I do not know from experience so I can't guess that they might slip a little bit or not. It also depends on how much square footage you're putting down and how aggressive your aerobic workout is going to be. They are great pads they work really well for my basement where I do have them wall to wall for lifting weights and do some lunges. but again I cannot give you a definitive answer to your question . I wish you good luck with whatever choice you make. John G./USMC I guess that depends if you're covering the whole room where you're putting it against the walls or to the baseboards of the walls.

It's designed for a corner and that's really where you should use it. There are MANY models out there to be used flush against the wall, I suggest you get one of those. This piece is for a corner.

i would use a very tiny TINY amount as to not harm the wall itself. this stuff is super strong. i'd suggest you hang it as best you can then use a small bit to level it if need be. i've used this stuff for COUNTLESS things so yeah, experiment but be careful so you don't damage the wall or the frame - but for something as simple as this sounds you probably want to go with something a little more temporary like ticky tack, even.

I just now took a scrap & put it in my wall....textured drywall with simi gloss paint..... it came off easier than glass.. don't know how long term would work. I don't think it would damage the wall. I hope this is of some help.

Yes, you are correct. I am still using this for painting 30 x 40 canvas by leaning the canvas on the top shelf and using the pencil drawer to hold the canvas on the bottom. This fits my space well so is working for me, but I am not painting on paper.

I think you would run into trouble. We get many compliments on our wall, so i would suggest a smooth wall

I think it would be very difficult to get a satisfactory result on a painted block wall. I think it would adhere ok, but would be hard to get the sections to line up properly on a surface as rough as that. YMMV

I would never recommend putting new wallpaper over old. I always remove the old wallpaper first. If you use a steamer, it comes off fairly easy

Hello Sharon, this piece of equipment is meant to be used on a doorway only (pay attention to the width of the doorway vs the length of the product). Unless you really modify this piece of equipment, I can't really think of a way to put this on the wall. The top part of the image you see is hardened plastic with some foam (top protect the paint above your door) and the bar you see stretching across the entire unit rests on the door's molding which really provides the support.I certainly appreciate the fact that I can just use it and then move it out of the way when I'm done....

it's pretty heavy and a bit bulky. fine for the doorway - a speed bump protecting your cords. for the wall I'd probably look for something with a smaller profile. don't know how it would look painted...

No worries, it will fall off of the wall within a few weeks. If not, you can rip it off, along with the paint below it. 0 stars.

In testing, I had more than 30# evenly distributed on the rod. The wall was painted drywall. The rod was installed according to instructions. So, if the "wet laundry" in total does not weigh more than 30# and it can be space evenly it should hold up without any problem.John R.

If the plastered walls are pretty smooth, I don't think it will be a problem. If they are textured, you many run into issues with it sticking. This product isn't super sticky. I would recommend ordering a small amount to see if it works first. The product came faster than expected.
